Application filed July 26,

To all whom it may cancer t,

Be it known that I, CLAYTON'E. OssURN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Davenport, in the county of Scott and State of Iowa, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Price-Card Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a price card holder.

The object of the invention is to provide a card holder of the above character which may be secured t cans, boxes, or the like, in which different commodities are retailed from grocery stores or the like for displaying a card having written thereon the price at which the commodity is to be sold.

It is also an object of the invention that the card be simple in construction and ineX- pensive to manufacture.

Other objects will hereinafter appear.

The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the application of the present invention to a can.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of a card holder restricted in accordance with the in vention and illustrating the manner in which it may be secured to a can or the like.

Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1, but showing a modified form of the pres ent invention, and

Figure 4 is a rear elevation of a modified form of the card holder shown in Figure 3 and also showing in dotted lines the means for securing the same to a can or other container.

Referring to the drawings more particu larly. the card holder illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 comprises strip of sheet metal 10 preferably rectangular in cross section as shown and having formed upon its lower edge a pair of upwardly turned tangs 11, one at each end thereof and also having formed at the upper end of each side edge an inwardly bent tang 12. The inwardly bent portion of each of the tangs 11 and 12 are suflicientlv spaced from the adjacent side surface of the strip 10 so that a price card 13 may he slid therebetween and positioned as shown in Figure 1. The strip 10 is also provided with a pair of recesses 14, one being disposed adjacent each end of the strip and Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Jam. 1(1), 112 22.

thus forming an intermediate portion 15. Each edge of the intermediate portion 15 at the upper endthereof is provided with an extension 16 which is disposed at substantially right angles to the plate 10 and having its outer end terminating in a downwardly extending finger 17. Each finger 17 is twisted at its lower end to provide a portion 18 which will be disposed in substantially the same plane as the sides of the strip 10.

In positioning the price card holder upon a can 19 as shown in Figure 1 a rubber band 20 is preferably used although a string or other means may be used and the rubber band is placed between the upper portions of the fingers 17 and the intermediate portion 15 of the strip 10 and thus supporting the tag holder. The rubber band is of course placed about the can as shown in Figure 1 and then a price card 13 may he slipped in position.

Referring to Figures 3 and i the card holder in this instance comprises a narrow strip of sheet metal 21 having formed upon its each end an inwardly bent portion 22. A second, strip 23 of substantially the same width is riveted as at 2 1 to the strip 21 at a point intermediate its ends and then the one end portion is bent to form an L-shaped portion 25, while the other end portion of the strip 23 is formed with a bent over portion 26. As is obvious the bent over portions 22 of the strip 21 and likewise the bent over portion of the strip 23 are adapted to slidingly receive a price card 27, as shown in Figure 3 and support the same. In applying this card holder a rubber band 28 may be positioned upon a cam 29 as shown in Figure 3 and then the L-shaped portion 25 of the strip 28 hooked over the rubber band as likewise shown in Figure 3. It also may be again mentioned that the rubber band 28 is not indispensible. Ordinarily a string or other similar means can be used for the same purpose if so desired.

I claim:

1. A card holder comprising in combination. a plate having formed upon its forward face suitable means for detachably supporting a card and having a recess formed adjacent each end thereof, a finger extending outwardly and downwardly from the inner edge of each recess, and a band extending beneath the fingers and over the plate portion intermediate the recesses and adapted v secure the card holder to a container;

2. A cardholder comprising in combina tion, a plate having ferni'ectu-pen its for- Ward face suitable means for detachably supporting a card having a recess formed adjacent each end thereof, a finger extend pQs d in a Pla e similarto f the pee.

3. card holder comprising in combination, a plate having formed upon its forward face suitable rneans 130i" detachably "supporting a cardTa'nd having a recess,

formed adjacent each end'thereof, a finger extending'downwardly from the upper edge 7 of each recess and at a point interme'diate 'the length of said upper edge, and said fingers each beingspaced to'the rear face of the plate and having their sides disposed in a plane transversely t0 the plate.
